Sorry for the delay and weak recap. Last week was crazy with the end of my job then we were out of town over the weekend and now I don't feel well but here it is.
As usual the shows begins with a lengthy recap of the previous week and a reminder that neither tribe, despite a double dose of tribal council, lost a member after bug-eyed Russell was pulled from the game by fainting like a hypoglycemic baby goat at the challenge
Over at Galu the men re-confirm their plan to get Shambo into their alliance then will discard her like a used Kleenex when she's served her purpose. Poor power mullet. Always the guest book attendant never the bride.
Then the Galu dudes decide to go one step further and suggest Shambo replace Russell as the tribe leader. The group puts together a quick vote and sure enough Shambo is victorious, the rest of the women nearly self combusted with shock and as anyone could have predicted the new chief's ego inflated twice the size of her poodle head. It was like giving a monkey a loaded gun.
I'm large and in charge!
It was time for a challenge and since they've pretty much run out of games short of actual torture it was a repeat of concentration. Matching items were placed randomly on stands and covered, with a few dummy items thrown in. Get the right match and you win a point, or the tribe's chief can decide to keep the item and forfeit the point. Winners get a boat trip and meal.
Since Galu outnumbers Foa Foa they'll have to sit several people out. Shambo makes her first executive decision and pulls herself out of the game, effectively leaving her tribe with no leader to keep an item if they want it. Brilliance abounds. She quickly deputizes Brett who makes up for her stupidity and keeps a fishing kit wrapped in a giant tarp found by Laura.
The game continues and once again Galu dominates and wins. To reward Laura for her excellent capture of a much-needed tarp Shambo sends her to Foa Foa and boots her from the reward. Take that, beotch.
As soon as the yellow team arrives at their pathetic Russell takes Laura aside and promises her the riches of the world if she hooks up with him after the merge. He also uses her faith to earn points then lies and says Ben had the idol but didn't play it when he was voted out. Evil, thine is a squatty man from the south.
Galu is somehow enjoying their reward but why they're so excited to be flailing across the sea on an old-fashioned pirate ship doing all the work is beyond me. Lying on a plank floor is not my idea of relaxing. Also, being fed a tin of puke stew with a side of crap for a meal would make me a tad cranky. Where's the luxury yacht? Where's the hot shower? Where's the native boobies? Some fucking prize that was.
Meanwhile, at Foa Foa Liz is blowing the small fire flame like a novice hooker and shooting her lazy tribe mates the stink eye for not helping. She makes the big mistake of venting to Russell who interprets all forms of communication as a direct threat and vows to fuck Liz over for the 10th time.
Next the immunity challenge is underway and each tribe will need to race their respective canoes into the lagoon and gather a bunch of wooden fish with hooks. The fish are actually puzzle pieces and when each team has all of their fish they'll race to complete a complicated puzzle.
Chief Mick from Foa Foa had arrived without his leadership necklace and Jeff called him out. Mick explained they'd come up with the conclusion that maybe the necklace was cursed and causing them to lose so he left it back at camp. Yes, genius. A couple of boars tusks are the sole reason why your tribe is a gaggle of giant boners. Couldn't be that you guys just suck, could it? Noooooo.
It sort of looked like this challenge backfired on the evil challenge creators because both teams really didn't even paddle the boats, they just ran along the ocean floor and pushed them.
As a result each make it to the puzzle portion at about the same time and start to solve it. In a stunning turn of events, something I don't think Ive ever seen, Jeff starts giving each team hints to solve it. WTF, Probst? SHADDUP.
Side note, David from Galu is a total asshole, but I digress...
Even though Foa Foa had an early lead they choked at the end, naturally, giving Galu yet another win. Now they'll have to kick out another person leaving them as a tribe of 4 to Galu's 8. Russell starts to scheme again (why these people who appear to have brains somewhere in their heads are still letting this psychotic leprechaun make all the decisions is beyond me) and throws Jaison's name into the mix since he had a little tantrum at the challenge and gave up.
As they all take their seats in front of Jeff he wastes no time with the baiting and tells them they've just performed worse than any other team in the history of Survivor. Personally I think that's quite a stretch and not true but it was funny to see their filthy faces fall.
When asked about trust Liz and Mick profess they trust everyone on their tribe (right) and Jaison puts his tail between his legs and mumbles an apology for taking a shit at the last challenge. In the end Liz was the weakest link and was voted out of Survivor Samoa.
Too bad, so sad, Appy and the Ghost of Tam. You attorney got the axe.
